A DOZEN plain-clothes soldiers were held by demonstrators in embattled Oaxaca Sunday as federal police were deployed to end the protests that had blockaded the city, according to a protest group.
A spokesperson of the Popular Assembly of Oaxaca Villages (APPO), which has helped co-ordinate the protests, told AFP that the soldiers would be freed quickly.

The APPO spokesperson said that the 12 were held after they tried to get past a barricade on the route between the city and the airport.

President Vicente Fox ordered federal police to Oaxaca on Saturday as demonstrators continued to block the city's main roads to protest the state government and lobby for higher wages for striking teachers

3. This bit is sad as hell;

"On Friday, a US cameraman for the Indymedia independent news website and two Mexicans were shot dead as tensions grew between striking teachers and their supporters and the local government."
